Areas of Expansion in 2018 for Taurus:

Your Taurus 2018 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Partnerships
Negotiations
Intimacy
Shared Assets
Support

Until November 8, 2018, your relationships continue to receive a boost of forward-moving energy. This cycle that lasts almost thirteen months helps you succeed in partnership or benefit from your close relationships.

Your partnerships, relating abilities, and powers of negotiation proceed to grow and expand. New partnership opportunities (yes, even plural!) can arrive now, or the chance to bring fresh energy to an existing committed relationship emerges. Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy — at least for the time being, they are mutually beneficial. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be a reason for this, although it’s important not to jump into something new blindly. Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more appealing than usual. This influence began in October 2017 and will be with you until November 8, 2018.

The positive potentials of this transit are many: You can negotiate more successfully, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled amicably as well. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your career has you working with or before the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, particularly if you do counseling or negotiating in your job. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, and/or successful new ones are entered into during this period.

Jupiter rules your sector of intimacy, shared assets, and transformation. Any of these things can be tied to partnerships during this time. A romantic or business partnership could form through connections you make in your pursuit of lifestyle changes, or a lifestyle change/makeover may result from a collaboration. A partnership may strengthen as you combine and merge your resources. For some, there can be a sudden partnership that becomes intimate quickly.

This can also be a time when shared beliefs, interests, and ideologies are a focal point in a close relationship. For some, a significant person comes into your life with common educational goals or belief systems, possibly through long-distance connections, schools, or publishing/online activities. For many of you, you are attracting people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a strong interest in you.

Potential negatives: You may be attracting partners who are more concerned with freedom than with pairing, or who seem to be quite extravagant or full of themselves. There could be troubles associated with an existing partner’s extravagance or demand for freedom, and you might feel this from time to time until September. There can be difficulties merging assets and dealing with power dynamics in your relationships, as well as dealing with differences in beliefs, perspective, and custom. You’ll get a chance to work through conflicts of interests and overload, however, with quite a bit of support.

For the most part, you are likely to enjoy an improved social life during this cycle. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions with an important “other.” Until August and September, you are in an excellent opportunity period for taking advantage of the benefits of this influence. Alliances might be made, and partnering matters run smoothly. Friendships become very cozy for some of you, and a spirit of friendship can figure strongly in a partnership. A partnership can be a source of inspiration, and the realization of a long-term dream or goal seems more likely now through the support or positivity of a friend/partner. People coming into your life can be creative, artistic, or inspire your creativity. There can be more compassion and warmth in a relationship now. You’re also learning to understand a significant other’s differing viewpoints or customs, even with ups and downs in this area. There can be rewarding travel, education, or publishing that positively impacts a current relationship or that brings a new connection into your life.

From November 8th onward, there is a wonderful new focus on your intimate world – a possible deepening of a relationship, or an increased understanding of your own inner workings. Your intimate life enlarges and expands, bringing you more joy and new discoveries.

During this cycle that lasts thirteen months (until December 2019), you learn to embrace inner change in order to feel more empowered. There may be more opportunities to find support, financial and/or emotional, but you should be wary of living on credit and borrowing too heavily from the future.

This influence is with you until December 2019, and it’s time to grab opportunities that help you to feel empowered and on top of your life. Conversations are deep and lead to discovery. Sexuality is richer. There can be benefits and support coming your way through others, whether it’s money refunded, an easier time getting loans or mortgages, a partner’s income increases, or you inherit something valuable. Combining your own resources, talents, and/or money with a partner can improve your own financial outlook.

Potential negatives: Taking on too much debt or relying too heavily on others for support. In late November especially, you would be wise to avoid excesses and watch for the accumulation of shared debt.

Additionally, sudden increases or overexpansion can cause you some personal stress, as you may feel a little overwhelmed at times.

Otherwise, it’s a strong period for opening yourself up to others and for feeling more confident about your own emotional depths. This is a period when you can quite successfully purge yourself of some of your inner demons, guilt, and buried psychological problems. Feeling backed or supported is wonderful! It enhances all sorts of other areas of your life by extension.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Taurus 2018 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Beliefs
Education
Worldview
Travel

Until 2020, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach involve the sector of your solar chart that rules higher learning, belief systems, travel, and adventurous experiences. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Those things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong, however, will endure and strengthen further.

This influence will be with you until December 2020. You’ll feel it most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Taurus. In 2018, it’s only affecting the first eleven degrees of Taurus Ascendant and the first eleven days of Sun in Taurus. However, it’s an influence that’s up and coming for many of you, and “in orb” for the first decan of Taurus.

Tests can come to your belief system or learning endeavors during this cycle. The need for reliable, solid, practical training can become very apparent now. You might scrutinize the belief system that you have held to date, and question your faith – in others, in yourself, and in life itself. You are seeking out practical and workable solutions to problems.

You might find that your ability to leisure-travel or engage in higher learning is limited during this period, for whatever reason. Travel may be for business purposes only. You may not be as adventurous, preferring to stick around home and your neighborhood, or perhaps for some, stuck there. This can also be a period of teaching others what you have learned.

The term of this transit is one of greater realism and practicality. You feel more capable of meeting your responsibilities. Life feels robust and stable, and the benefits of this influence are likely to be felt most strongly when Saturn officially forms a trine to your Sun or Ascendant. Now and in the coming years, you are likely to enjoy many opportunities to set your life in order. Saturn is in very good shape, transiting in harmony to your sign and also transiting the area of your solar chart that it rules.

This is also a valuable time for the learning and study of practical skills and brushing up on your knowledge. You’re challenged to look at life and your future more realistically and practically. There can be important accomplishments in publishing or education for many of you.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed:

Your 2018 Taurus Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Spirituality
the Past
Private Life
Personality
Independence

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle of review of your past attachments, those things keeping you from exploring your individuality, and the things that make you unique. This process spans many years (it’s with you until March 2019). However, Uranus enters your sign from May 15th to November 6th in 2018 — this is a major move! It will dip back before entering your sign more permanently in March 2019.

Until May 15th and then from November 6th forward, you continue to work on letting go of elements of the past that are preventing you from growing. Through the course of this transit, elements of your private life may have been exposed. Secrets you kept may have surfaced, for example. This might have felt uncomfortable at first, but it’s part of a process that involves detaching yourself from certain areas of your private life and your past. Many of you are more accustomed to this energy, but for some of you, those born very late in the sign of Taurus (28.5 to 30 degree Taurus Ascendant and May 19-21), this energy is relatively new.

The aim now is to free yourself from attitudes that have restricted you from moving forward with your life. Ultimately, you’ll be freer to start anew – a life that in which you express yourself more authentically. You are working hard at letting go of those attachments that simply don’t serve you well any longer, and you’re rather fearless doing so.

From May 15th to November 6th, 2018, your personality is directly influenced and you are compelled to make changes. This transit will return more permanently in March 2019 and lasts a total of seven years. For now, you’re feeling the first rumble of change.

The image you present to the world and your personality begin to change quite rapidly. You are embracing change, pushing yourself beyond your normal limits, expressing your independent streak, and taking a few personal risks.

Potential negatives: While personal changes are necessary and perhaps inevitable, foolish risk-taking and pointless rebellion are not! You don’t need to throw away everything from your past or totally clean your slate in order to express your independence. Tame your urges to rebel if it’s just for the sake of it, or to prove something to the world. Answer your instincts rather than simply react to others if you feel restricted or confined.

This is a time for discovering your own unique path, and you may be making a bit of a splash as you forge ahead. Your sign has a reputation for being quite content and easygoing, as you tend to seek out harmony, sometimes at all costs. However, this new theme in your life suggests you won’t risk feelings of being confined, limited, or unauthentic just for some measure of peace.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2018 Taurus Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Beliefs
Travel
Attitudes & Outlook
Career
Home
Family
Communications
Learning

Attitudes, belief systems, and learning continue to transform this year. You may be purging some of the beliefs or attitudes that no longer work for you. There can be a wonderful exposure to a new perspective, lifestyle, or culture. Some of you might publish a creative work and meet with success.

There may be people in your life who are bothered by the changes you are making, and these problems can be magnified particularly in November. Circumstances may be such that your intimate life competes with your need to explore the world or expand your experiences.

In 2018, the Moon’s Nodes continue to affect your home and family life until November 6th. There is a real need to get your domestic life into order, as this can bring fantastic benefits and much joy to your life, particularly around the eclipses in January/February and July/August.

In mid-July, an eclipse from a new eclipse set occurs in your communications sector. The theme of this set of eclipses will play out more fully in 2019, but you have some hints of its effects in 2018. As well, the North Node begins to transit your communications sector from November 6th forward, pointing to a genuine need to reach out, connect, make contact, learn, and communicate, as these things can bring wonderful benefits and much joy to your life now and in 2019.

Your Planetary Ruler in 2018: Venus is your planetary ruler. Venus is retrograde from October 5-November 16, 2018. (Keep in mind there are preamble and hangover periods involved with this, and to be super safe, consider the dates from September 2-December 17). This is not an ideal time for new endeavors, beginnings, or launches, but is useful for looking back and learning from the past.

More power to you when your ruler is in your sign, and in 2018, this period is from March 31st to April 24th.
